what lawn mower are you guys going to get?
The new one started right up, but Rick thought it was not an easy pull like the Toro; something to do with new safety features and the blades spinning? .
Had to put a little muscle behind it. He thought I might have a hard time getting the mower started. 
Maybe Erick can come over to start it for me...he's got muscles. Need to check handle height too. I don't want to mow the lawn with my arms up above my head.

Honda makes a great self propelled mower. This is the latest model of the one I have been using for 6 years, with zero issues:

yup i have a ten year old honda just like yours - it runs as good as new BUT they are heavy and the cost an arm and a leg
Honda and Toro are the top two brands that i can think of with the key start but again i think you're looking at 600+ for an electric start option on a honda and i think around 400+ for a toro

We may have to use new one once more before we return it....lawn needs mowing.
We have 90 days.
